As it has been in the last
several years, these events can be started at any point in the year, but all
4 events must be completed in series.Awards will be presented to those
that finish the Motion Series, but will be the same award each year. The
award will not change with landmark years as the Mora Classic awards are.
This addition was made to foster involvement for those who feel that they
want to participate, but do not feel ready to complete the longer events.

completion of the Mora Classic Series.

lists showing that you completed each event.

the series. Silver medals are awarded for the third through seventh
